Popular Post carmine Posted October 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2017 Game over in the first half and very impressive. I didn't like the way we seemed to let the foot off the gas in the second half thought. And no injuries with a very difficult run of games coming up. I don't think a post should come without mention of the Dele All dive. It was embarrassing, cringeworthy, and you just knew thats what he was going to do. He really needs to grow up. Personally i'd like the referees to start pulling out red cards for the like. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmine Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Wembley sold out already for the Madrid game. Well Dele Alli will still be suspended for the tie, but, baring in mind current form i don't think we'll miss him as much as we might have a couple of months ago. Saying that, i'm sure he would have loved the chance to showcase himself to Zidane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and yes tickets were gone before even members could buy for their friends never mind being on general sale. I snapped mine up.....then scored one in the exec area a couple of days later.

sotsira Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Dele Ali is suspended for one more CL match which is the away tie against Madrid. He'll be available to play for the home tie at wembley on the 1st Nov. As for showcasing himself ? Well that depends which Dele turns up cos so far this season he's been too inconsistent during games to the point where Son may deserve a start ahead of him.

sotsira Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Gareth Bale is set to miss the next 2-4 weeks due to a calf strain meaning that he'll definitely miss the remaining 2 world cup qualifiers for Wales and probably the first match against us on the 17th, and possibly the second one as well on Nov 1st. http://theboyhotspur.com/bales-muscle-strain-only-half-of-it/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your judgement may be clouded about him. He wasn't stand out in his first couple of games for us but I suppose that is to be expected when fitting into a new team. Since then he has improved every match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then he has improved every match To be fair, after me posting about the 2 games i thought that perhaps it's me who see's a different game so i decided to have a look at his stats for both game's after you implying he is a different player . V. Palace taking into account this was a game where you had 72% possession, his stats were as follows ; tackles 0, interceptions 1, passes 68, shots on target 0, key passes 0, dribbles 0, accurate crosses 0, V Chelsea where he spent 90% of the time in your own half, his stats were as follow's ; tackles 0, interceptions 1, passes 84, shots on target 0, key passes 1, dribbles 0, accurate crosses 0. So basically confirms what i thought, it seems your getting more like BB every week, i use to think you give that you give an honest appraisal but your just as bias and delusional as him, and as much as i like arguing i'm not going to even bother with the waffle you will come out with on this one and let the neutral make their own mind up. Just for your info, apart from the cross for the goal he was pretty shit last night so sort of confirms what i thought.

As an attacking option he is a decent weapon but its the final ball that often disappoints. Overall he was a good player for us but the 50m price tag, though not his fault doesn't sit well with a player of his ability. I haven't seen any tangible improvement in him, just a decent player doing his bit in a very good side, and for the clean sheets he must take part of the credit.

I think he realized we missed the option of Walkers pace, something that we've missed for so long on the left with Rose's long term injury.

Walker-Peters still needs to improve is likely the reason and yes more of an attacking threat is needed now we are playing three at the back.

wilai Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Walker-Peters is playing LB for England kids (not as good as the pair of scousers in front of him at RB?). But he doesn't look too bad there so could also cover Rose if required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
